The book from the county Hell

If you were to cross David Lynch with Psycho and then with the Pogues, you would get Emerald Germs of Ireland. It's a very strange book. First each chapter is begun with a song, which happens to relate to a death in the following chapter. The deaths are caused by 45 year old Pat McCabe who having just killed his stifling mother, now thinks everyone is after them. Since Pat is crazy, you are never too sure just what is real and what isn't. Each chapter has a different style as well. This review from Britain fills in some questions I had. The title is a reference to a publication from older Irish times and the book is something of a satire of Irish life. Anyway, it is very odd, but try it if you like really bizarrely presented serial killer books.
